Sonia Green

With over two decades of experience advising clients in connection with their estates and those of their loved ones, Sonia has a depth of knowledge and empathy.

She loves to really listen to clients to identify what they really need. Sometimes this is not what they thought they wanted. For her, being a solicitor has always been about helping people achieve the best possible outcomes for them.

Having read law at the University of Southampton and graduated with a upper second honours LLB, she completed her legal practice course at the Guildford College of Law. Sonia qualified in September 2001 and has specialised in private wealth ever since. She joined Moore Barlow as a Partner, after having spent the past 21 years at Glanvilles LLP. She was made a Partner there in 2009 and so she has a wealth of experience in running a legal practice in addition to her professional expertise.

She has a wonderful family with whom she loves to spend as much time as possible. She likes to keep fit (ish) and particularly enjoy pilates. She is also a very creative person and forever has a project on the go, whether that’s sewing, upcycling furniture, doodling or pretty much anything else that takes her fancy.
